So i have jre1.6.0_03 on my dekstop. i start to configure it to Firefox by putting in this: Code: cd /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.7/plugins ln -s /home/Sarg338/1.6.0_03/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so but i end up getting this: Code: ln: creating symbolic link `./libjavaplugin_oji.so' to `/home/Sarg338/1.6.0_03/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so': File exists My understanding of this is its already linked, but JRE still doesnt work. Any help apreciated. Thanks!

If so, it indicates that you should use the Fedora 7 HowTo for installing the version you have, but it reports that version as being problematic, at least in Fedora 6. __________________ oz New Members: * README *

Try all of your commands without putting sudo in front of them, but you do have to su to root if you haven't done so. Hopefully it will work for you this time. If not, maybe someone with some recent Fedora experience will step in with some clues. __________________ oz New Members: * README *

Ozar, thanks for your help also. Hopefully i will get this fixed soon, so if anyone can help, please post.

Have a look here Java - Fedora Linux My Way at my wiki page about installing java for Fedora 7. It should apply to Fedora 6 with no problem. My method works pretty well. As far as your trouble with linking goes, there's often several FireFox folders under /usr/lib. You may be linking to the wrong one. Choose help > about in FireFox to make sure which version you are using. Post back with the results and maybe I can help get Java sorted for you. __________________ Glenn The Bassinator Powered by Fedora 11 I came. I cast. I kicked Bass!

Use it for your install and see how you do. __________________ Glenn The Bassinator Powered by Fedora 11 I came. I cast. I kicked Bass!
